Voice control over navigation?

Can anyone tell me if the voice control option for phone, radio and CD player has any control over the navigation system on any 05’ or 06’ series MB? I know my 03’ SL500 has no input control from voice commands. Thanks.

Certiainly the European versions do .... I can't comment on USA versions.

The European version has complete address entry, guidance and map control.

Nav voice input works on US cars. See for example:

No Nav voice control in my model/year except "navigation" that switches to the nav screen from wherever you are.
